[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great price for such a high end machine. The brew quality and taste is perfect and the sleek design makes it fit in and look nice on my counter space. It was very simple to clean and seems to
be well made and durable.

High Expectations, Lowered by Poor Machine Quality
on March 29, 2025

I bought this machine around August and while I love how creamy it pulls, and that the machine offers a grinding option at a lower price. The actual machine is just poor quality. 1) it’s extremely difficult to clean 2) the espresso handle is automatic but stopped working after just a month of use so now we have to manually move the handle from the right side to the left side of the machine. That wouldn’t really be a problem if the espresso grounds stayed inside the handle - but it will easily spill out the contents sometimes getting the ground beans into the espresso shot. Even with the automatic function worked, it would still spill out the grounds very easily. I really want to love this machine but I’d rather recommend people buy a product that is easier to clean and actually works. I honestly think this product could be fantastic if there was a way to easily access the inside of the machine to clean it and the automatic swipe option was taken out and instead replaced with the ability to just manually move the espresso handle. Also in the attached photo you can see how the grounds have fallen and they accumulate in a hard to clean area
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lost function over time
on April 2, 2025
Posted by: Kendall
I bought this 6 months ago and it worked well for me until a couple months ago. I contacted Philips for help and they told me to do a factory reset - now I do it every time I pull a shot. The grind settings deteriorated and now all that’s left in the portafilter is a wet sludge of coffee grounds as opposed to a fully extracted, relatively dry, combined puck. Its extraction is basically horrible now.

Ok at home espresso
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: jenniferp515_6601
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I YouTubed how to use because I didn’t see any real directions as to how to use (I have drank espresso before but never made any at home). It did its job and once I had it figured out wasn’t hard to use. It ground the whole beans well and had excellent flavor. The machine looked nice but for the price I would have thought that it would have a sturdier feel and less of the thinish plastic that the body was made out of.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is gorgeous and super easy to use that was gifted by philipshomelivingna! I like how it’s not too big and more of a compact coffee maker. I love the optional milk foamer attachment too. Pretty quiet when it comes to brewing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rocky start, excellent finish
on April 27, 2025
Posted by: Sarahbaraha
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product complimentary from Philips. This was a roller coaster experience for me. I was surprised the box arrived and there was no manual so I had to do a good bit of googling as this is my first espresso maker. Setting up wasn’t a breeze and originally I didn’t think it was going to work. After I worked through that I was slightly surprised at how loud the machine was as it’s marketed to be quiet. I definitely couldn’t use this while my toddler was napping or in the morning while everyone else was sleeping. Now on to the good. Really amazing coffee. I’ve been loving making iced coffee with this, it comes out so fresh! I like that the water reservoir holds a good bit so I’m not constantly refilling. Overall, I would recommend!
